Entertainment (US PS2 release).GameplayCareer ModeThe career mode in 4x4 Evo 2 is pretty standard, you start out with ,000 to buy a truck with, and earn money through completing races or challenges. You will then use these funds to purchase better vehicles or upgrade your existing vehicle.Race mode is relatively standard, though eventually you can attract a "sponsor" and gain access to special trucks and upgrades which differ based on which sponsor is chosen/attracted.Challenge mode has you and your truck dropped into a large open map to undertake a series of more-or-less insane tasks. These tasks vary from searching for priceless archaeological discoveries, such as the "ByTheLakeosaurus" (guess where that one is) for a professor at the Tijuana museum of natural history, to searching for a plane wreck on a series of deserted islands, to bringing aid to remote villages along the Alaskan oil pipeline. Truck Selection4x4 Evo 2 ships with over 120 licensed trucks, though there are fewer base models of trucks; for example, there are 2WD and 4WD versions of most trucks, as well as different trim levels such as XE and SE attached to some models. The vehicles in 4x4 Evo 2 are from 9 major manufacturers, Dodge, Jeep, Nissan, Infiniti, Lexus, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Chevrolet, and GMC.

Upgrades such as winches, snorkels, tires, and lift kits were actually fully functional; i.e. you could use the winch to pull you out of a tough spot, provided your truck wasn't too heavy, snorkels would really prevent your truck from hydro-locking, and tires and lift kits would actually raise your trucks center of gravity. TracksThe game ships with 32 tracks, in a variety of locales and race styles. There is a South American rally style track, a junkyard circuit, a beach loop, and the list goes on. The tracks operate on a standard gate based system, though some do have minor branching paths between gates.Track ListArctic WastelandArizonaAutumn LeavesBaja BeachBayou FlatsBlack GoldCastle RockConstruction JunctionCosta Rica RallyCrazy 2001Deadman's GulchDesert RunEgyptFarm Road 109Final DestinationLaguna Del SolMediterraneanMotocrossPikes PeakQuarry LakeRestricted AreaSalvage WastelandSilverton PassThailand RallyTibet CliffsideTreasure BayTri Baja 250Truck Stop 101Vulture CanyonYukonUser Created ContentDue to the ease with which entirely new tracks and trucks could be added into the game, many user created vehicles and stages can be found, some of which far exceed the detail of the "stock" trucks and stages.
